Zhao Kuo is definitely the first "Dou E" in China's thousands of years of military history, too wronged, the first time he came out of the mountain, he encountered the killing god Bai Qi, who was unique in the entire Warring States era, and people will not remember that Zhao Kuo once held a confrontation with the killing god Bai Qi, and only remembered that Zhao Kuo buried 400,000 children of the Zhao Kingdom.
This defeat of Zhao Kuo was forever nailed to the pillar of shame of military history and became a military negative teaching material for thousands of years.
Zhao Kuo replaced Lian Po as the commander of the Zhao army, and even after the veteran general Lian Po was replaced, the Qin army still attached great importance to this war.
At this moment of life and death, the Qin State showed the greatest respect for the fate of the country, and directly asked the strongest military pillar of the Qin State to kill the gods and rise out of the mountain.
Bai Got up to the Changping front line and did not preach all over the world like Zhao Guo, but came in secret, and King Qin Zhao completely blocked the news and leaked Bai Qi as a marshal.
In this way, Zhao Kuo, who had just left the novice village to carry out a mission, and Bai Qi, a full-level trumpet, fought in Changping, but at this time, Zhao Kuoshang did not know that he was facing Bai Qi.
After Zhao Kuo took office, he promoted a number of young zhuang factions and replaced the old subordinates left by Lianpo, which is understandable, if Zhao Kuo wants to establish his prestige as soon as possible, he must set up his own team and re-run into the veteran generals left by Lianpo, which is too slow.
Subsequently, the million-level stalemate between the Qin Army and the Zhao Army in Changping was broken, and it was not Zhao Kuo who broke all this, but Bai Qi.
Bai Qi took the initiative to attack, and the Qin army was repelled by Zhao Guo, which was Bai Qi's confidence to Zhao Kuo, making Zhao Kuo feel that the Qin army was not invincible.
Zhao Kuo won the first battle, and the King of Zhao was overjoyed, and while rewarding Zhao Kuo, he ordered Zhao Kuo to attack the whole line and make a quick decision.
King Zhao and Zhao Kuo coincided, and Zhao Kuo also believed that the Qin army was newly defeated, the army was unstable, and the morale of the Zhao army was greatly boosted, and this was a good time to rush up and fight the Qin army.
Zhao Kuo took the wrong first step in the Battle of Changping, and Zhao Kuo did not choose a tentative attack, but pressed all the chips up.
Under the command of Zhao Kuo, all the elites of the Zhao army crossed the Danhe defense line and fought a decisive battle against the Qin army.
After the qin and Zhao armies came into contact, Zhao Kuo found that the Qin army suffered more casualties than the Zhao army, and Zhao Kuo's confidence was doubled at this time, and he ordered to continue to pursue the Qin army, all the way to the main camp of the Qin army.
At the main camp of the Qin army, the two sides once again launched fire and merged, and the Zhao army still had the upper hand.
But what Zhao Kuo didn't know was that Bai Qi had already prepared a cemetery for him.
At the same time that Bai Qi's army and Zhao Kuo's army were fiercely fighting in front of the Qin army's camp, the two strange soldiers that Bai Qi had prepared long ago also set off.
Twenty-five thousand people went all the way around the Hundred Mile Stone Great Wall and captured Changping Pass, which had only a few garrisons at this time, and this incomparably strong Xiongguan was easily taken by Bai Qi.
Subsequently, this strange soldier launched an attack on the old pass on the defense line of the Hundred Mile Stone Great Wall, which was the most important pass between the Zhao army and Handan, and was now blocked by Bai Qi.
Another 5,000 men attacked the junction of the Zhao army's front and rear armies with precision, the main combat and logistics troops of the Zhao army were divided in two, and the Zhao army was cut apart by the Qin army.
At this time, the main force of the Zhao army was desperately dragged by the White Qi Army in front of the Qin Army's camp, and it was lacking in skill, so the tactical goal of the White Qi was achieved.
In order to be safe, Bai Qi, after winning both roads, drew men and horses from the main force of the Qin army that was fighting fiercely with the Zhao army and rushed to the aid of these two strange soldiers.
The Zhao army was perfectly divided by the Qin army, the Front of the Zhao Army was the base camp of the Qin Army, and the rear was Changping, which had been captured by the Qin Army, and the main combat troops of the Zhao Army were surrounded.
Sun Tzu's art of war has clouds, "ten times the enemy army, can be encircled", and now that Bai Qi has completed a one-to-one encirclement, the Qin army is not much more than the Zhao army.
This is a miracle in military history, and only Bai Qi can do it in the Warring States period.
Zhao Kuo learned of the situation at this time and ordered a breakthrough, the Qin army suffered heavy casualties, after all, the Qin army was divided, but the Qin army relied on the barrier of the camp, and Zhao Kuo attacked several times, but was blocked by the Qin army.
Zhao Kuo walked out of the second wrong move of the Battle of Changping.
Unable to break through, Zhao Kuo chose to stick to the rescue.
But what Zhao Kuo didn't know was that Bai Qi's encirclement was not what he saw in front of his eyes, and the connection between Zhao Jun and Handan had also been cut off by Bai Qi, and the only way for Zhao Guo's reinforcements to rush to help, Gu Guan, had been blocked by Bai Qi.
Zhao Kuo's stubbornness to wait for help has become a luxury.
After Bai Qi's victory, King Qin Zhao personally went to Hanoi and sent all men over the age of 15 in The Hedong and Hanoi areas to the Changping Battlefield.
The reinforcements of the Zhao army did not come, and the reinforcements of the Qin army came.
The reinforcements of the Qin army that rushed to it continued to reinforce the two strange soldiers of Bai Qi, and Zhao Kuo's army became a lone army completely.
Zhao Kuo's army then faced a siege of more than forty days, but during the forty days of this siege, Zhao Kuo showed extremely high military quality.
For more than forty days, the Zhao army did not mutiny, did not defect to the enemy, and has always retained its combat effectiveness, so that the Qin army does not dare to relax at all.
This kind of control over the military is by no means something that ordinary people can do.
After the Zhao army was besieged for more than forty days, Zhao Kuo decided to break through again, and he divided the army into four parts, taking turns to kill and repeat the cycle, not only maintaining a continuous attack, but also giving the Zhao army a time to take turns to rest.
The division of troops was positive, and Zhao Kuo's use of troops was also reflected in this final breakthrough.
Zhao Kuo was shot during the breakout, and after Zhao Kuo was killed, the Zhao army surrendered. This battle of Changping is over.
summary
Zhao Kuo made the mistake of taking offense in the Battle of Changping, leaving no way for himself to retreat, which eventually led to the defeat of the Battle of Changping, and the souls of Zhao Guo's 400,000 sons and daughters were scattered in Changping.
Zhao Kuo's ancient insults were not unjust at all, but it was really unjust to say that Zhao Kuo did not know the soldiers.
Why did Bai Qi praise Zhao Kuo, because in this Battle of Changping, Bai Qi personally felt Zhao Kuo's military ability.
Bai Qi said in his report after the battle for King Qin Zhao: Nearly half of the casualties were really a tragic victory.
What is the most terrifying thing about an army?
cohesion.
Zhao Kuo was able to ensure that Zhao Kuo was not loose when the Zhao army was exhausted and surrounded on both sides, and still allowed the Zhao army to maintain combat effectiveness and cause heavy losses to the Qin army, which was a kind of ability in itself.
The charm of war lies in the word "change", war has countless possibilities, each choice may turn the tide of war, may also fall into the abyss.
One of the reasons why league of legends can flourish for so long is also this "change" word, everything is possible, the lack of technology can be made up with tactics, until the end, never know the ending.
In the fog, in this rapidly changing battlefield, who can guarantee that they have made the right decision? Who can guarantee that it will be better than Zhao Kuo?
It's just that when things happen, we stand in God's perspective and always become hindsight.
Zhao Kuo was more unlucky, and when he first came out, he encountered a killing god from undefeated, and if it was another general, the victory or defeat was unknown.
